Software Engineer (Real-time Collaborative Platform – Full Stack)

About the role

As a Software Engineer, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary product development team that develops and implements a scalable, real-time collaborative digital platform for creating and editing rich, interactive content. This platform is highly critical for enabling analysts to co-author data-driven reports and interactive visualisations. Your work will directly support Singapore’s national security leaders in translating complex analysis into informed strategic decisions.

Key responsibilities

• Implement and enhance real-time collaboration features, including multi-user editing, conflict resolution, and state synchronization across distributed systems.
• Engineer interactive content experiences by developing interactive data storytelling capabilities, enabling users to create and embed dynamic charts, maps, visualizations, and data-driven content within reports.
• Develop scalable microservices and APIs, ensuring performance, reliability, and consistency under high-concurrency workloads.
• Participate in technical design discussions, proposing ideas and learning best practices in system architecture and implementation.
• Collaborate with product, design, and end‑users to bridge the gap between complex data analysis and intuitive user experiences.
• Explore and prototype AI‑driven features such as AI‑assisted copyedit/proofreading, metadata tagging, cross‑report reference validation and agent‑based workflow to enhance content reliability and efficiency.

Required profile

• At least 2 years of software engineering experience, with a background in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
• Experience with full stack web technologies such as ReactJS, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and MinIO.
• Experience in backend or frontend development (e.g., Java/Spring Boot or React/TypeScript) with willingness to learn new languages and frameworks.
• Experience with databases such as RDBMS, NoSQL, and object storage.
• Experience with CI/CD processes, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Git, Kubernetes, and deploying and operating applications in a cloud environment.
